MKN Work Table 10019134 – Optima 700

A 1200 x 700 mm working surface at 850 mm height gives this Optima 700 table a clear role as a primary preparation or plating station. At 56 kg net weight in stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304), it is a substantial module rather than a light-duty add-on shelf.

On board, the 1200 mm length aligns with a single Optima 700 body so the table can continue a cooking line or bridge a gap between appliances without breaking the working level. The 700 mm depth matches the Optima 700 corpus, which simplifies planning in narrow galleys where every millimetre of passage and working space is drawn into the yard layout. Because this is a neutral work table rather than a heated or refrigerated unit, it adds no load to the vessel’s electrical or HVAC systems, which can be a deciding factor where power and extraction are already committed to cooking equipment.

Two height figures appear in the data for this unit and they matter differently. The body itself is 700 mm high, which defines the structural module that ties into the Optima 700 range. The working surface is quoted separately at 1200 x 700 x 850 mm; this is the level that the chef experiences and that needs to line up with adjacent cooking or preparation equipment. In a refit, that 850 mm working height should be checked against existing runs so that there are no steps or lips between this table and its neighbours. The 68 kg gross weight is what the logistics plan has to handle through the supply chain and into the galley.

Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout keeps the specification consistent with the majority of neutral galley furniture and with MKN’s own Optima cooking blocks. For a marine project this simplifies cleaning regimes and spare-part stocking, because the same material behaviour can be expected across worktops, shelves and adjacent equipment. The net weight of 56 kg also gives a naval architect a figure to work with when checking deck loading for furniture-heavy service areas.

Build and control

• Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout
• Self-supporting closed construction

This table is the right choice where an Optima 700 cooking line needs continuous work surface at a matching 700 mm depth and 850 mm working height, or where a compact galley needs a neutral preparation station that does not consume electrical or refrigeration capacity. It is not the right option where undercounter storage, refrigeration or equipment integration is required beneath the worktop, because this model is delivered purely as a self-supporting closed work table.
